shot by a Border Patrol agent on a mountain trail in Cochise County a few miles north of the Mexican border.in a statement released on Facebook Monday, but did not make clear what led to his fatal injuries. The man, who police presume to be an undocumented migrant, was later confirmed to have been killed by a Border Patrol agent.
two agents from the Douglas Border Patrol Station Horse Patrol Unit responded to reports of possible undocumented migrants in the area and apprehended three undocumented migrants. John Mennell, supervisory public affairs specialist for the CBP in Arizona, reported Monday that the Cochise County Sheriff's office in partnership with CBP were investigating the incident and confirmed the Mexican Consulate was notified of the shooting near Skeleton Canyon in the Peloncillo Mountains.
Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, chair of the Subcommittee on Government Operations and Border Management, was among the signatories. "They are not neutral fact finders and their handling of any part of an investigation undermines it." Marin said. "The fact that the CBP Office of Professional Responsibility is reportedly investigating is no solace given that OPR uses BPCITs to collect evidence despite the inherent conflict of interest. Until OPR ceases to do this, they are compromised."
"At our weekly Healing Our Borders Prayer Vigil, we added a cross for the man who was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent," Mark Adams, the U.S. coordinator of Frontera de Cristo, a binational Presbyterian Ministry located in both Agua Prieta and Douglas said in a statement to the Arizona Republic.
